how to create exceptions in recurring event at iCal/Entourage?

hello,

I want to create exceptions in recurring event/meeting using
applescript. Can any one help?
Exceptions like edit summary/duration/location of one instance. Also,
it's verification by applescript. Any pointer in this, would be great
help...

regards,
anil

Hi anil!

What you're wanting to do with your recurring events borders on "complex
calendaring", which Entourage cannot handle. I don't have any recurring
events to test whether or not these are complex events or not.

Can you first determine that you're able to do this manually?

You can examine the AppleScript properties of a single calendar event by
selecting it first and then running this in the Script Editor:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
properties of item 1 of (get selection)
end tell

You may be able to alter the event by simply removing the "recurrence"
property but I haven't tested this.

Hope this helps!
